In the future, "Operation Jiaolong" will use "confidential" as its promotional selling point. When promoting it to the outside world, it said that because it was filmed too realistically, it was interviewed by the country and was accused of leaking relevant secrets... As a result, the audience complained, "Since you have filmed the country's military secrets, we won't go to the cinema to watch it."

Although it is difficult for amateur audiences to question professionals, the outrageous actions of many professionals do make you wonder if they are idiots.

All I can say is that there are also makeshift teams among professionals, and their number is large.

Director Wei doesn't think he is very professional, but he just needs to remember the mistakes made by these makeshift teams and avoid falling into the same pit.

Even these makeshift teams can make money, which only shows that the threshold for success in China is not that high, and the domestic market is really too big.

After the laughter died down, Director Wei continued, "Most of what happened is true. It's just that the character played by Sister Xiaoxian has a prototype, but it's not a 100% replica. As for the reason, I think everyone knows it."

Zhou Tao nodded: "This is why Mr. Shao said that many people paid a greater price than him."

Director Wei nodded. "Although some of these words are vulgar and overused, the objective facts do exist. This world has never been peaceful. While we enjoy peace and tranquility, many people are struggling in the darkness. However, I believe their efforts will surely pay off, and the time will not be too far off. I believe they will all be able to return to their motherland within our lifetime."

Zhou Tao coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Teacher Duan, when the news of Director Wei's new film casting came out, it was said that all the middle-aged male actors in the entertainment industry were attracted by the news. Is this true?"

Duan Yihong couldn't help but smile. "Of course it's true. All the good actors in the industry want to be in Director Wei's films, even if it means paying them to do so." "We all know that among young artists nowadays, there may not be many excellent actors. But among the middle-aged actors, there are quite a few excellent actors."

Duan Yihong nodded.

This is real.

You can say that the entertainment industry is bad, but you can't say that all the actors in the entertainment industry are bad.

In our country, the acting skills of many actors are no worse than those of Hollywood veterans.

What they lack is not acting skills.

It's exposure.

To be more precise, they did not lose because of their acting skills.

Our country's national strength is not as strong as that of the United States.

When the day comes that our country regains its leading position that it has held for thousands of years in history, the veteran actors that we all recognize now will also be recognized worldwide.

Not only regimes but also artists emerge from the barrel of a gun.

Don’t disbelieve it, maybe you will be able to see this scene in your lifetime.

"Then how did you, Mr. Duan, stand out among so many outstanding middle-aged male actors?" Zhou Tao asked.

Duan Yihong is very modest: "I am lucky."

Zhou Tao shook his head: "Teacher Duan, excessive humility is pride."

Director Wei also whispered: "Teacher Duan, just say whatever you want. I use people's standards and I'm not afraid of others knowing."

Duan Yihong then spoke frankly, "Director Wei has his own unique criteria for hiring talent, which differs from many other big directors in the entertainment industry. According to Director Wei, my acting is excellent, but I don't stand out among many middle-aged male actors. This is mainly because I have very little negative news, and I am more resolute in my political stance than many actors my age. Director Wei selects actors based on the subject matter. If he's shooting a mainstream drama, he holds an actor's moral standards to a higher standard than his acting skills."

Director Wei nodded in agreement.

He added: "Times have changed. I hope everyone can realize that art has no borders, but artists do. Don't be naive and think that artistic exchange is just artistic exchange. Open your eyes and look at the world. No one has ever demonstrated their intention of cultural colonization."

"It's not that I want to be politically correct in the entertainment industry. In fact, this kind of thing has always started abroad. Think about how Chinese actors are discriminated against in Hollywood. It's the same principle.

"Of course, you can totally disagree with my views. In fact, many of my practices have always been contrary to those of the big directors in the industry. The earth will continue to rotate without anyone. I can't convince you, and you don't have to convince me. If you want to film my movies, just follow my requirements."

Many directors and actors in the audience were shaking their heads silently.

They really do not agree with Director Wei's point of view.

After all, they all want to expand their influence.

And deep down they still identify more with the Western way of thinking.

This is especially true for older people.

They were born into an environment where the United States is invincible, and this has ingrained in them the idea that the United States is number one. This cannot be changed in the short term. It can even be said that it will never change.

The future of China definitely lies in the younger generation.

Only the new generation living in the rise of China will erase their filter for the West.

The overdeveloped internet environment has left public intellectuals with very little room to thrive. The new generation of young people may not blindly follow grand narratives, but they no longer believe in nonsense like "the moon is rounder abroad."

When they gradually begin to gain the right to speak and become the backbone of various circles, the entire public opinion environment will change.

Director Wei had already begun to see this in his previous life, in 2025. Although it was still just a spark, young people were gradually accelerating their efforts to seize power, and the audience was also voting with their feet.

Jiaozi's two animated films alone could surpass the lifetime achievements of established directors. "Black Myth: Wukong," a single game, has already stirred up a frenzy within and beyond the industry. Liang Wenfeng, thanks to Deepseek, even had a seat at the table at a private economy symposium hosted by the Grand Elder, sitting alongside Penguin Ma. It could even be said that he's debunked the AI ​​bubble in the US stock market, causing trillions of dollars in losses. What they all have in common is that these leaders are still relatively young.

The teacher said, the world is yours, as well as ours, but ultimately it is yours.

Young talents are the future.

You can respect the elderly, but you don’t have to follow the old ways.

The future will inevitably be created by the new generation of young people.

The new generation of young people grew up in an environment where the West was not so dominant.

Even many places are very bad.

Therefore, there is great uncertainty about the future.

Of course, the East may not win.

But the old people’s ideology is that the West will win.

The newcomers’ thoughts are:

Only through a head-on confrontation can we know who is swimming naked.

Many times, we always imagine that our enemies are powerful, or we always imagine that we are powerful.

But after a real fight, many fantasies will be shattered.

By then, perhaps the entire world's order and thinking will be reshaped.

Director Wei felt that he would be able to see this scene in his lifetime.

The so-called great changes that have not been seen in a century should happen in the next few decades.

He didn't know whether it was taking off or falling.

He only knew that he had no choice but to be born here.

The country's destiny is my destiny.

The best development is for the country to eat meat and for him to drink some soup.

To this end, he should just make some contributions as he should.

As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, he will definitely be able to land safely given his current size and status.

……

The rest of the interview was uneventful.

As a veteran Spring Festival Gala host, Zhou Tao was undoubtedly adept at controlling the situation. Under her leadership, the premiere concluded successfully.

Director Wei, along with a group of main creators, sent off the important guests who came to attend the premiere today one by one, and then attended a dinner specially prepared by the crew.

Rather than being a promotion, it is more about creating an opportunity for guests to make friends.

After all, the bulk of publicity and promotion is on the Internet, and the publicity and promotion department’s funds are mostly allocated to various online platforms.

What's more, this is Director Wei's movie.

There is no need to spend so much money to rely on this group of guests to help with promotion.

Director Wei serves more as a transit platform, allowing these people in the entertainment industry to get to know each other, and perhaps they can negotiate many collaborations.

That’s how connections are built.

As the host, Director Wei naturally has to participate.

But he doesn't have to do everything himself.

There are not many guests who can be accompanied by Director Wei in person.

At the dinner, Director Wei mainly chatted with Zhou Tao.

He also took the initiative to invite Zhou Tao to dance.

Feeling Director Wei's gentle touch on his ears, especially Director Wei's body's natural reaction, Zhou Tao felt satisfied but also a little bit frightened and stimulated.

"Director Wei, you should also pay attention to the occasion."

There's a big age difference between them.

Under normal circumstances, outsiders would not suspect anything.

Moreover, within the system, Zhou Tao would deliberately make himself look more serious and even older - this would make it easier for him to get promoted.

But today is an entertainment industry occasion.

In addition, Director Wei had provided Zhou Tao with medicine early on.

So Zhou Tao looked radiant after dressing up.

The whole body is full of the temperament of peace and prosperity. Such temperament is not easy to make outsiders think too much.

But Director Wei is not picky about food.

Whether it's a peaceful and prosperous country or a charming and beautiful woman, as long as she is beautiful, he likes her.

Zhou Tao felt a little guilty, so she always felt that she might be discovered by outsiders.

But Director Wei was very calm.

"Sister Tao, don't worry, this is the entertainment industry. Even if they guess something, they won't dare to tell anyone."

Zhou Tao glared at Director Wei, but his eyes were not murderous at all, but rather a little hungry.

At her age, it is impossible for her not to be eager to meet the young and energetic Director Wei.

Many times, women want it more than men.

But they have to keep a reserved look.

"I can't let them guess. I still have a lot of work to do."

Zhou Tao has gradually withdrawn from the literary and art circles and has been spending more time within the system.

So she should try to avoid appearing in the entertainment news section, especially the gossip news section.

This is not conducive to her progress.

Fortunately, she found Director Wei.

Director Wei chuckled softly in Zhou Tao's ear and said, "I've already told them that any negative news about you, Sister Tao, including gossip and scandals, will be temporarily suppressed and reported to me. I will handle it."

This is the advantage of mastering the platform.

Moreover, Director Wei already has a bit of a monopoly on the public opinion platform.

This is actually a bit dangerous.

But let’s be honest, who doesn’t have a monopoly when it comes to making big money?

Don’t penguins have a monopoly?

Is chrysanthemum not a monopoly?

Therefore, whether it is a monopoly or not depends mainly on the attitude of the higher-ups.

As long as you don't sell out your country and keep your head down, everything can be discussed.

On the surface, the whole world is cracking down on monopolies.

In fact, in all countries around the world, those that make a lot of money basically engage in monopolies.

Don't worry too much about it.

Hearing Director Wei say this, Zhou Tao's body softened even more.

This is the main reason why she feels Director Wei is dangerous and charming.

It not only releases physiological needs.

Still safe.

Unless Director Wei falls one day.

But based on her understanding of Director Wei, Director Wei's butt is even straighter than hers.
